Ann Marie Yamada, PhD and Adrienne Cedro-Hament, LCSW, BCD
This presentation highlights the value of integrating a broadly conceptualized notion of spirituality in clinical practice. Over a decade of work has supported the development of promising practices to enhance the capacity for clinicians to use their own practices of meditation, prayer and other forms of spiritual engagement to support therapy and to meet the spiritual beliefs, needs, and practices of clients and their families. Participants will be introduced to assessment tools to elicit clients’ religious and spiritual beliefs and practices. Presenters will encourage participants to challenge ethical and legal misconceptions that limit their recognition of the value of spiritual practices such as mindfulness meditation for working with persons from diverse multicultural communities. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Apply a working definition of spirituality in a mental health context.
- Identify one tool to assess spirituality in clinical practice.
- Distinguish two spirituality-infused practices.
- Describe the value of mindfulness meditation to address and respond to the mental health needs of immigrants, under-represented ethnic group members and poor, limited English proficient speakers, and those in rural areas.
